“Advancing the use and availability of renewable energy is critical to achieving California’s ambitious climate change goals. Established by Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. through an executive order, then codified through legislation, California has set ambitious requirements to reduce the state’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. To support these goals, California has pursued a suite of policies and programs aimed at advancing renewable energy in California and ensuring all Californians, including low-income and disadvantaged communities, benefit from this transition. ”
